Mindnet

MindNet is the name of any of several automatically acquired databases of lexico-semantic relations^{[clarification needed]} developed by members of the Natural Language Processing Group at Microsoft Research during the 1990s^[1][2][3]. The underlying technology is based on the same parser used in the Microsoft Word grammar checker and was deployed in the natural language query engine in Microsoft's Encarta 99 encyclopedia^[4].
